Im looking at rooting my Tmobile G2 tonight. Ive been reading the guide beforehand just so ive got an idea of what im doing before bulldozing in. With the gold card, does this need to be permenantly in the G2 or is it only needed to modify the phone and then you are free to use another card with apps/music/pictures etc?

I know im being special, but just want to double check before i ruin anything!

I am struggling with rooting my Hero. I have followed the steps, but when I restart holding home and the pwoer button, it doesnt bring up and green writing. What I get is an image of a phone with a triangle above it with an exclamation mark in it. I have left it for 5-10 minutes but it does not seem to do anything after this.

Anyone know what I've done wrong?

This is the stock android recovery, try flashing the recovery image again using flashrec and note carefully any errors it gives you.

I just wanted to say that i tried this way to root my phone but it just wouldn't works when I try to install the RUU it gives me error 171. I googled it to find a solution but I didn't find one. Can anyone of you help? Thank you.

Ok im a noob so no one please slate my comment :-) but i had this problem and fixed it by installing these drivers as well as the adb ones that comes with the htc sync

Thanks for the advice. USB debugging is ticked but the error remains the same. Maybe I should retrace my steps and go over the goldcard procedure again? :)

This is exactly the same issue I'm having. I have 2.1 installed, so I need to downgrade. I have taken ALL the steps and followed them to the letter. However, it disconnects from the USB whenever I launch the RUU. I can see it happen, as the HTC Sync goes grey. It then gives the USB error.

Please help! We can't be the only two people in the world this is happening to!
